Re-homing for a profit

I am not going to make a habit of this but fellow bloggers, particularly those of you in Australia, might like to know that my sister and I are downsizing our collections a bit as we both have way too much stuff.

We have decided to sell a few dolls, toys and collectibles on eBay. My sister calls eBay our coffee tin. The reason for that is that we used to save up change to use on our holiday road trips in an old coffee tin. Change from our purses, coins we found at work down the side of train seats etc. Over a few months it added up and was very handy for buying petrol for example.

We created a separate eBay ID for our venture although we’ve both been buying on eBay for probably 15 years. It is lookwhatwefound2015.

Postage and exchange rates are ridiculously expensive now so we had not planned to sell to anyone outside Australia but having said that if you are not in Australia and see something you really like then contact us anyway and we can work out a price for shipping. The exchange rate is in favour of the $US at the moment.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

About Naomi

I came to Australia with my mother and sister Vanda in 1966 from the UK aboard the Sitmar liner Castel Felice. We settled in South Australia I lived in the western suburbs of Adelaide for most of my life. I became very interested in retro items in my twenties. It was always a dream of mine to have an old house and fill it with retro items. I have done it twice now. My main interest is collecting old things. They do not have to be valuable, only interesting. There is something reassuring about old retro items. I have all sorts of things including doll related items. My other interests are my beautiful pets, art and going for drives to who knows where. I also enjoy board games or doing a scenic jig saw puzzle on a wintry afternoon by the fire. My goal is to travel a bit more as there are some places I would love to see

The Tasman Bridge Disaster Hobart’s eastern and western shores are spanned by the Tasman Bridge which was completed in 1964.
